[Random Cool] Survive the Apocalypse Using The Map of the Dead, Watch ‘Evil Dead 2: Dead By D(r)awn’ & Rock To Journey Using Movie Clips!
Sam Raimi’s classic Evil Dead 2 has been rotoscoped and now deserves to be on my flipping iPad, thanks to Pretend For Real. It’s unclear what the intention for the trailer “Evil Dead 2: Dead By D(r)awn” is, but hopefully they’ll give us a feature length “animated version” of Evil Dead 2 to drool over. Watch it above.
Geekology has caught wind of the incredible Map of the Dead, a Google Maps based program that highlights useful information in the event of a zombie apocalypse. You know, stuff like highly populated “danger zones” to avoid, as well as worthwhile stores to loot like gun shops, gas stations, and liquor stores. You can prepare for the undead apocalypse by clicking here.
Lastly in our brief bout with “it came from the internet” coolness is Jonathan Barkan’s bizarre discovery, a movie mash-up edited to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” only it’s sung by quotes from all of your favorite genre films. It’s incredibly stupid, yet oddly and undeniably addictive. Watch it below!
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
